Is Baseball becomingto anaylitical?

If you bring in your lefty to face Ken Griffey do you bring in a right handed batter? Of course not. But lately the L vs R analytics is doing just that. Red hot starting pitchers are getting yanked to quickly, batting lineups are too righty vs lefty. I don't mind some analytics, but doesn't it seem the game has taken it a bit too far and we are missing out on true superstars because of it?

Re: Is Baseball becomingto anaylitical?

One piece of good news is that these two trends offset each other. If you stack your starting lineup with righties against a lefty starter, the opposing manager can **** with your lineup by yanking the starter for a right-handed long reliever.
